Tsumego From Games 9 / nomad's suggestion

Sub-page of TsumegoFromGames9

This is the line of play suggested by nomad, 4d* IGS.

[Diagram]

nomad's idea

White 1 looks promising. It leads to ko, but one that favours White.

[Diagram]

Nomad's idea (continued)

If Black answers with 2 here he will die.

[Diagram]

Leading to ko

Playing 2 here is a good response and will lead to ko. The ko favours White.

DaveSigaty: I think this ko doesn't just favor White, but actually is hopeless for Black.

[Diagram]

Hopeless for Black?

Black is in atari and there are no internal threats.

[Diagram]

Any chance for Black?

This 2 also seems to go nowhere. If 6 at 7, White plays 6 and clearly leads in any capturing race.
